Enum PutCall

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Named, NamedEnum, Serializable, Comparable<PutCall>

    public enum PutCall
    extends Enum<PutCall>
    implements NamedEnum
    Flag indicating whether a trade is "put" or "call".

    The concepts of put and call apply to options trading. A call gives the owner the right, but not obligation, to buy the underlying at an agreed price in the future. A put gives a similar option to sell.

    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static PutCall[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (PutCall c : PutCall.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static PutCall valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
      • of

        public static PutCall of​(String name)
        Obtains an instance from the specified name.

        Parsing handles the mixed case form produced by toString() and the upper and lower case variants of the enum constant name.

        Parameters:
        name - the name to parse
        Returns:
        the type
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the name is not known
      • ofPut

        public static PutCall ofPut​(boolean isPut)
        Converts a boolean "is put" flag to the enum value.
        Parameters:
        isPut - the put flag, true for put, false for call
        Returns:
        the equivalent enum
      • isPut

        public boolean isPut()
        Checks if the type is 'Put'.
        Returns:
        true if put, false if call
      • isCall

        public boolean isCall()
        Checks if the type is 'Call'.
        Returns:
        true if call, false if put
      • opposite

        public PutCall opposite()
        Supplies the opposite of this value.
        Returns:
        the opposite value
      • toString

        public String toString()
        Returns the formatted name of the type.
        Overrides:
        toString in class Enum<PutCall>
        Returns:
        the formatted string representing the type
